2013 and earlier BMW X5 Lease Questions

Comments

I'm having trouble getting a deal, even for the car on the lot. Anyone recently gotten a good deal on X5 in northern california? The best I got is $1000 over invoice plus acquisition fee. Please PM me or post your recommendations.

Would be interested to hear how the numbers work out for you on this...given the much lower resid (even with ecocredit) its a bit more expensive to buy the D. With where diesel is vs. premium couldn't convince myself this was the way to go other than long-term maintenance might be less with diesel vs. turbos if you buy it out.

While I really haven't gotten any "real" numbers from a dealer yet, I compared the numbers (using what I've seen on this forum) for both the diesel and gas premium, equipped as I'd order them (as close as possible to each other). I used the lease guide calculator, and just took the loyalty and eco credit off the selling price, which I set at $500 above invoice. (I'm not sure if it's actually treated this way, but I wanted to compare apples to apples.) The diesel's list was about $1,225 higher, it's got the eco credit, and the RV is at 54% vs 60% for the gas.

Factoring this all in, I came up with a monthly pmt of $733, including tax, for the diesel and $718 for the gas, so a $15/mo difference. Factor in the fuel differential, which, based on about 9,000 miles per year, with the diesel getting 20% better mpg, but costing about 30c more per gallon (all very unscientific, but I think this is close to accurate, at least where I live), comes in in favor of the diesel, with a monthly savings of about $28. So overall, a net savings for the diesel of about $13/month.

Obviously, the difference is pretty negligible, so it's not really the cost that will drive one's decision here. I happen to prefer the way the diesel drives, having had both. But it is a little frustrating that the residual on the diesel is much lower, thereby increasing the monthly lease payment. But I suppose this is good if you're looking to buy at the end of the lease term.

At some point soon, I'll see what my dealer really has to say, but my gut tells me the differences should be pretty accurate.

Thinking of pulling trigger on a X5 3.5 Sports, Could you please post August lease buy rates (RV & MF) for 12k miles, 36months and 39months respectively. Also are there any changes in rebates or incentives as well from BMW as 2014 will be coming out soon.

For some reason I am getting hard time finding one with sports/M package, specially a non-white color, from the looks of local dealers (so-cal) inventory looks like they come only in 3 colors white black or grey :blush: .

Do you know when this car will be available for a delivery? My dealer is telling me that a production of this model will not start until October, and they are expecting a delivery in November. However, other dealers are expecting a delivery around late September or early October when I called around.

I am in the market to lease a 2014 BMW x5 3.5 with sport package. The car after all the options (dvd players, keyless entry, etc) came to about 73k...what is an appropriate cost I should expect to pay? Thanks in advance, I am a current Range Rover owner so not familiar with BMW

I just closed a deal on a 2013 xDrive50i, and I can tell you that the base rate MF went from .00127 at the end of July to .00125 yesterday. By my calculations, the RV did not change from July to August.

I want to lease a X5 3.5i 2013, before the 2014 comes out. Can anyone give me a lease rate they are paying to give me an idea on what to expect. I have leased many cars before, but never a BMW, so don't know how flexible they are.thank you

There is $1000 of lease loyalty cash available.. I don't see the $2000 of build out cash that they had last month.. They may have replaced this with some other incentive that isn't apparent.. EDIT: (and, Edmunds shows $2000 of dealer incentives available this month, as well..)
